Five


She is huge! This girl lights up our world. She loves life. She is excited to do everything! When she was a baby, she NEVER slept. You know how most babies are in a coma for 2 months and just sleep? She never did that. When she was two weeks old, we tried doing the cute naked sleeping newborn pictures, and she would not fall asleep! Whenever we would enter a new room, she had to be facing out and she would just scan the room with her huge eyes for minutes. She is still like this, always trying to learn and experience new things.

She is so ready for Kindergarten. She has never been afraid of being away from me, but I will sure miss her. 

She knows how to read. She sounds out words and writes me the cutest little notes. She LOVES to draw. Its so fun seeing her imagination come out on paper. She can entertain herself all day long. She loves playing with her sister, for the most part. 

She loves when friends come over. She loves her cousins. She loves the park. She loves watching "shows" on TV. Her favorite is the 'Magic School Bus' and 'My Little Pony.' 

She is always hungry. I will feed her lunch and 1 hour later she will want a snack. She loves loves loves sugar! She is a good eater though, and she will try anything I give her a least once.

She still calls dessert "bessert" and did you know we are from "Bissouri?"

She is obsessed with singing and has a very strong alto voice. She sings Katy Perry's "Firework" song and "eye of the tiger" all day long. Most of the songs she sings, she doesn't really know the lyrics, so she makes them up. She is in a cute little singing choir.

She still loves to climb, and everyday I usually have to fetch her from the backyard tree because she is stuck in it. 

I can see her testimony of the Gospel starting to form. We read the Book of Mormon with her and she doesn't want us to stop. I have seen her stop and say prayers when she is in need. Its helping my testimony as well.

Sometimes she is a twerp and makes bad choices, but in the end, she will always make it right. She is a good person.

There is no one like Avery. We love her so much. We couldn't have picked a better girl to lead her younger siblings. 

Avery, please stop growing so fast! We love you so dang much!

Avery brought her family along to spend Thanksgiving at our home in PC.
The first thing she did was to climb up into the chair and snuggle with Grandpa for about 20 minutes. She's a cuddler, and knows how to make her Grandpa very happy...
